How many people in ireland have red hair?

Answer 1

Not as many as in Scotland, which leads in the redhead count. Generally speaking, red hair today is most commonly found at the Northern fringes of Europe and associated with people in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as well as England, particularly the Cornwall.

SCOTLAND is the country with the highest proportion of redheads in the world: 13% of the population has red hair, and approximately 40% carry the recessive, so-called "ginger gene".

IRELAND has the second highest number of redheads worldwide; as many as 10% of the population have ginger or strawberry blond hair. It is thought that up to 35% of the Irish population carries the recessive "ginger gene".

Red hair has a frequency of over 10% in Wales. In England, the county of Cornwall and the far north, near the Scottish border, also have significant proportions of redheads.

Red or reddish-tinged hair is also found in other European populations particularly in the Nordic and Baltic countries as well as parts of the Netherlands, Northern Germany and Russia.

In the United States, anywhere from 2-6% of the population is estimated to have red hair.

The Berber and Kabylie populations of northern Algeria have occasional redheads.

In Asia, darker or mixed tinges of red hair can be found sporadically from Northern India, Iran and Pakistan, all the way to Japan. Red hair can be found commonly amongst those of Iranian descent, such as the Pashtuns.

Answer 2

Like hair i'm a redhead - its only a haircolour. Gingers/reds aren't from now on appeared down upon in Scotland, everywhere did you get that from? Its purely in England that pink hair is an argument. Have pink hair, were throughout, and really purely the English have that issue. Doubt the sperm donor infomration as pink hair everywhere is a uncommon recessive trait.
